PREFACE 

Book  collectors  have  recently  devoted  increased 
attention  to  making  up  sets  of  the  first  editions 
of  leading  American  authors.  Hawthorne, 
Longfellow,  Poe,  Lowell,  Irving,  Whittier, 
Holmes,  and  many  others  all  have  their  ad 
mirers  who  search  the  bookstalls,  ransack  old 
libraries  and  even  of  late  fill  the  advertising 
columns  of  the  booksellers  journals  with  lists  of 
their  wants  and  the  prices  they  are  willing  to 
pay  for  them.  All  who  have  engaged  in  the 
delightful  excitement  of  book-hunting  must 
have  at  times  met  with  difficulties,  owing  to  the 
small  amount  of  bibliographical  data  obtainable 
in  print.  With  the  hope  of  supplying  this 
want,  so  far  as  the  works  of  Longfellow  are 
concerned,  this  bibliography  is  modestly  offered. 

With  the  exception  of  the  edition  published 
by  Carey  and  Hart  in  1845,  all  collected  editions 
of  the  poetical  works  have  been  excluded  for  the 


reason  that  they  contain  no  new  matter.  For 
the  same  reason  the  Poems  of  Places  in  thirty- 
one  volumes,  1876-79,  have  been  omitted.  The 
illustrated  editions  of  "  The  Building  of  the 
Ship" — 1870,  "  The  Skeleton  in  Armor" — 
1877,  and  "  Excelsior"  1878,  are  not  mentioned, 
as  these  poems  were  printed  in  earlier  volumes,* 
and  are  therefore  not  strictly  first  editions. 

No  attempt  has  been  made  to  trace  the  origi 
nal  appearance  of  those  poems  that  were  first 
published  in  magazines  or  other  journals.  This 
information  being  of  no  interest  to  the  collector 
of  first  editions,  while  its  addition  here  would 
unnecessarily  increase  the  size  of  the  book. 

In  the  appendix  will  be  found  a  list  of  the 
educational  works  written  or  edited  by  Mr. 
Longfellow. 

May,  1885.

Large  Paper  Edition  of  100  numbered  copies, 
printed  from  type  in  1867  but  now  first  pub 
lished.  Illustrated  by  two  finely  etched  por 
traits  from  rare  prints.  2  vols.  8vo.  Boards, 
uncut  edges.  $5.00. 

Mr.  John  W.  Chadwick  in  the  Unitarian  Review  for  April, 
1885,  says,  "  It  is  now  seventeen  years  since  Mr.  Leigh  Hunt 
and  Mr.  S.  Adams  Lee  compiled  and  edited  together  the 
BOOK  OF  THE  SONNET,  Mr.  Hunt  writing  a  general  essay 
11  On  the  Cultivation,  History,  and  Varieties  of  the  Species  of 
Poem  called  Sonnet," — which  still  remains  as  good  as  any 
thing  upon  the  subject, — and  compiling  the  English  sonnets, 
and  Mr.  Lee  compiling  the  American  sonnets  and  contributing 
an  admirable  historical  and  critical  essay  on  the  "  Sonnet  in 
America." 

In  1867  Messrs.  Roberts  Bros. ,  of  Boston,  printed  an  edition 
on  large  paper,  without  portraits,  of  the  above  work,  but  as 
they  state  u  for  no  particular  reason  we  never  offered  them 
for  sale." 

The  subscriber  offers  them,  believing  that  admirers  and  col 
lectors  of  the  books  of  Leigh  Hunt  will  be  glad  to  get  an 
original  work  by  him  as  first  published,  for  no  English  edi 
tion  was  ever  issued.
